Abstract
Summary Voltammetric current potential responses to the deposition and dissolution of a metal on to or from a solid electrode, have been studied. The differentiation of the uncompensated cell resistance and kinetic effect has been put on a quantitative basis. Deposition of a sub-monolayer deposit has been investigated but difficulties arising from the establishment of the initial surface, condition preclude any quantitative analysis of the results. The shapes of the voltammetric responses agreed with those calculated theoretically when a frozen mercury electrode was used. At slow sweep rates, convection interference occurs but this can be accounted for. At higher sweep rates, capacity currents begin to interfere or insufficient current is passed to form the monolayer. The latter effect, broadens the response and elevates the peak current.
